More quotes by Tirunesh Dibaba

I want to improve the records for both distances and the hardest to achieve is the 10k.

Most of the girls can’t stay with me in training, it just has to be guys.

I never needed to run to school because it was close to home, I never did much running in school. Unlike other Ethiopian runners, I did not have a running childhood.

I was not even happy in Beijing. No one has ever done what I did today.

There’s always a lot of competition, so whenever I win a race at that distance, I’m really thrilled.
